What is to prevent the ball boy from giving the umpire one set of baseballs when the home team is batting, and another set when the road team is batting? I do know that the umpire does not empty the ball bag attached to their belt after each half-inning.

Well, I'd imagine that this is a job that the clubbie would not want to lose.

I would say fear of losing his job and the integrity of the game. Old school shenanigans have no place in today's game. Bush league.
